Worth seeing

  • In Jaworzynka it is worth visiting the church of st. Peter and Paul (Jaworzynka Centrum 420), from 1953-1954. In the main altar there is a painting by Jan Wałach with the patrons of the church depicted against the background of a mountain panorama. In addition, the residents also meet in the church in Trzycatek. Our Lady of Frydek, where a wooden church used to stand, was, however, moved to Mlaskawka, to the hamlet of Istebna.
  • The best spruces. In 1938, as a result of research by Swedish scientists, the species of Istebian spruce was recognized as the healthiest, fastest-growing and most beautiful. Istebna spruces are used, among others as a resonance material for the manufacture of violin instruments.
  • Few people know that there is also a museum in which the most valuable exhibits are trees. Of course, we are talking about the best trees in the world - Istebna spruces.

  • Aviary Breeding of the capercaillie, which was launched in 2002. The conducted research showed that there is a risk of extinction of this species in the Beskid forests, therefore 15 eggs were imported from Belarus and breeding started.
